If your birthday is coming up and you’re not sure where to go, consider one of the great spots on this affordable Miami restaurants list. These eateries serve up some fantastic food that won’t break the bank for you or your guests—everybody wins.
Bartaco
Tacos + margaritas = a great birthday dinner! Bartaco’s breezy Coconut Grove location and vibrant flavors make it a fun and festive choice; it also helps that the prices are on the lower end of Coconut Grove restaurants. Two to three tacos should be enough per person, but make sure to get an app or two to split—you can never go wrong with chips, guac, and some street corn.
Bartaco is located at 3112 Commodore Plaza, Coconut Grove, FL 33133. For more information, visit their official website.
The Brightside
The Brightside’s inviting indoor space and ample seating make it perfect for casual birthday gatherings. Grab your friends, order some of the neighborhood bar’s delicious grub, and soak in the relaxed atmosphere. There’s just something about the vibe here that’s straight out of Cheers; it just feels like home.
Some snacks and mains to consider: the Bavarian pretzel, the Beef on Weck (a killer roast beef sandwich), and the fish and chips. Parking-wise, there’s a lot in the back and plenty of street parking.
The Brightside is located at 1721 SW 22nd Street, Miami, FL 33145. For more information, visit their official website.

Ironside Pizza
Looking for the ultimate pizza party? Ironside Pizza dishes up traditional and creative pizzas within the trendy Ironside district. Pair your pie with a selection from their delectable wine list for a laid-back birthday celebration.
While you could devour a pizza all by yourself, sharing is caring—and the best way to enjoy every section of the menu. Of course, don’t overdo it; you need to save room for the signature tiramisu.
Midorie
Keep things super laid back with a birthday celebration at Midorie. You can’t help but feel Zen when you step into this venue; it’s so nice and chill. One thing that’s extra nice: the reasonable prices for some of the best sushi in town. If you’re a larger party, you might want to order a la carte to try a little bit of everything. Otherwise, splurge on the omakase and get ready to roll out of there.
